I have met a few acquaintances and friends who associated the rich being “filthy rich”. They have the mindset that the rich earned their money through dirty means like stealing, cheating, or being in a mafia. I mean, that is how it is being portrayed on the documentaries right?

However, I believe in a wealth transfer from the unrighteous to the rest who are walking in righteousness! Let me show you the 5 wealth transfers that already had happened as recorded in the Bible.

5 wealth transfers that happened in the Bible

1st Transfer

Abram had a wealth transfer from the Egyptians. To protect his wife and himself, he had to say that his wife is his sister, who was later commended to the Pharaoh by the princes of Pharaoh. Due to Abram’s wife, Abram was treated very well by the Pharaoh and he was given sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys and camels. Well, if you know the story, GOD plagued Pharaoh and Abram got his wife back. Can you see the wealth transfer here? Abram is the righteous man here, and you should know who is the bad guy!

2nd Transfer

Isaac’s case is almost similar to the one with Abram as mentioned in the previous paragraph. Whenever people asked about his wife, he would say that she is his sister. Abimelech, the king of the Philistines did not spent time with Isaac’s wife like the Pharoah with Abram’s wife, because he saw Isaac showing endearment to her.

After knowing that she was Isaac’s wife, Abimelech gave a command to protect over Isaac’s and his wife’s lives. Isaac thus sowed into that land and prospered so greatly that Abimelech had to tell him to go away from the Philistines, for Isaac alone is richer than all their wealth added together!

3rd Transfer

Jacob has always been serving Laban, Jacob mother’s brother, and wanted Laban to set him free such that he is also able to provide for his family. Well, Laban is not really a very nice master to be serving. He was not willing to split the crops evenly between the two of them. Jacob out of respect had to take all the spotted animals and left the healthier ones with Laban. However, it turns out that Jacob’s flocks are stronger than Laban’s flocks and of course, Jacob grew wealthier until he became exceedingly prosperous.

4th Transfer

I guess you should know about the story of Joseph, how he was being blessed with the gift of interpreting dreams. He was thrown into jail because he was wrongly accused to have slept with his Egyptian master’s wife( Joseph was of course being framed by her!) The Epytian king soon after had a dream and all the magicians could not interpret the dream for him. The story went on where Joseph was invited out of jail to interpret the King’s dream. The King liked him alot and made him become the governor over the land of Egypt. The wealth transfer was from Egyptians to Joseph.

5th Transfer

The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses (the words of Moses are found in Exodus 12:1-34) and are righteous in the eyes of the LORD. As such, GOD was able to give the children of Israel favor in the sight of the Egyptians so that they could be granted whatever they requested and thus, have successfully plundered the Egyptians.

Read: Exodus 12:1-36 (NKJV)

The next wealth transfer could be yours! It is coming. Yes, the sinners can have money right now, but i say to you, their wealth are laid up for the righteousness. The Just will inherit all of their money! Are you ready for it?

Read: Job 27:13-19 (NKJV)

Let me tell a little secret. Go and read Job 22:21-27. Read Job 22:27 again. Read the last sentence.
And You will pay your vows. Yes. A vow! There is power in a vow! It is in the bible! Vows can really move heaven. Are some of your prayers not being answered? It is time to evaluate the prayer, whether you should really place a vow between you and GOD. You see, there is power in a vow. God loves vows too. He delights when His people make vows and KEEP it, because HE never leaves a vow unfulfilled.

Make vows to the LORD your GOD, and pay them; Let all who are around Him bring presents to Him who ought to be feared. - Psalms 76:11, New King James Version

Difference between an offering and a vow

You can give an offering during a church service, but remember this: an offering can never be a vow. An offering has no demand on the seed. It is just a seed, but GOD will multiply it nevertheless. A vow is a seed with a demand. A vow is so strong that all of heaven will back you up! However, it also means that the vow has to cost you something. Vows can never work with a cheap seed. Vows are offerings that has a demand, but it has to be an offering that has a particular weight in your heart. A vow can never be as much as your 10% tithe, or the usual church service offerings.

Vows mean business. If you only attempt to give a little just to declare your vow, GOD will not delight in it. It is just like paying 2 bucks for a new Porsche. Your car dealer is serious about making it your dreams come true for you, but you are just playing around with him, hoping to buy the car for as little as possible. How do you think would the car dealer feel?

Paying your vows

There are two standard ways to pay a vow. You can either wait for a miracle and pay your vow or you can pay your vow first while waiting for your miracle. Trust me, it always work. The thing is, if you are praying for a miracle, you can expect GOD to reply you in just days. Have you been waiting for a miracle? Why dont you make a vow with GOD today and pay your vow in your local church today? Trust me.

GOD is real in my life and He has already changed my life as i applied these 2 principles in paying my vows.

Let GOD bless you greatly!
